You Think You Know Me / by Paploviante / joerxworx remix

"Still Think Positive" by Paploviante: Music & Title; 
Reidmoto: Lyrics & Final Remix

Still Think Positive

Verse 1
When life takes a turn into
 turbulence and chaos
 Your boss says you’re great
But you’re part of the layoffs.

Verse 2
You’re ghosted by your lover
without a word to you.
You’re left to guess and wonder
Eight years down the tubes

Pre-Chorus
Though you want to shrink
 get smaller than a mouse,
 guard your thoughts, how you think,
 this storm won’t sink your house.

Chorus
Instead of being a loser, a shrinking violet.
 Lean in hard, pursue your dreams of being a pilot.
 Don’t give hell an inch and still think positive.
 Live well, stay at the helm, it’s your prerogative.

Verse 3
 Your friends all disappear when
 your pockets start to drain,
 the sunshine fair-weather crew
 can’t stand to walk in rain.3

Pre-chorus
Though you want to shrink
Get smaller than a mouse
Guard your thoughts, how you think
This is not the time to blink

Chorus
Instead of being a loser, a shrinking violet.
Lean in hard, pursue your dreams of being a pilot.
Don’t give hell an inch and still think positive.
Live well, stay at the helm, it’s your prerogative

Reflective by Paploviante / joerxworx sax remix

Reflective-R & B – Paploviante: Music & Title; Reidmoto: Lyrics & Final Mix

[verse 1]
We’ve been over this a thousand times
Yet you continue to commit your petty crimes
Talking to you about it seems so ineffective
I’m hopeful when you look so sad and reflective

[verse 2]
But I’m not going to do this anymore
Playing your game is such an F’n bore
Pack your things and hit the door
I’m done with your crap that’s for sure

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[sax solo]

[verse 3]
I hate to speak in rhymes
We’re really in sad times
Depleting dopamine online
Should really be a crime

[verse 4]
They only time you hear me
Is when I rhyme or if you fear me
i don’t want you to be near me
So don’t even try to endear me

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[outro]
But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective

WEIGHTLESS

I find myself
far from home
nowhere to go
all I knew 
Has gone away

And I’m weary
from wandering
heavy heart
storm’s
On the horizon

Times like these
Shaky ground
See through seams
Light breaks through
The storm clouds

Steps grow lighter
As the rain falls
Remember now
This world
is not our home

Eyes lift up
Mind grows clear
I find myself here
ever more
Weightless

As we rise with each step
Find higher ground
Let go of
what held us down

As I walk
I see your hand
In everything
My thoughts
Become free

What was hidden
And obscured
becoming clear
good and bad
apparent

I let go of all fear
It can’t
Reside with faith
Clouds fade
The Way clears

When we walk with faith
We find ourselves here
Becoming ever more
Weightless

And I’ll never 
Return
To my old ways
I’ve seen your hand
In everything

Time is coming fast
the wait 
Is nearly past
We must 
Keep our heads clear

Eyes lift up
Mind grows clear
I find myself here
ever more
Weightless

As we rise with each step
Find higher ground
Let go of 
what held us down

I let go of all fear
It can’t
Reside with faith
Clouds fade
The Way clears

When we walk with faith
We find ourselves here
Becoming ever more
Weightless

ENGLISH BELOW THIS

Incognito

“You have a call from Pelican Bay Correctional Facility. Do you
accept the charges?”

Male Teen voice

“…Yeah. I accept.”

Verse 1 – Father
"Mi hijo… I can’t live like this no more.
¿Dónde está la salida… el éxito?
¿Dónde está la puerta? ¡Por favor!
Dime dónde está the damn door!"

Verse 2
"Doin’ thirty to life gives me time to think,
He decidido cambiar — don’t blink.
Thirty days left… and I still say change,
Funny how death makes a man rearrange."

Chorus
Mi hijo!
I don’t wanna be a gangster anymore!
Livin’ like a thug… y un bandido,
Porque tengo un sucio secreto,
Siempre incógnito…

siempre incognito…

Verse 3 – Son
I thought, “At least my Pops is trying…
Did he forget in a month he’s dying?"
Typical prison phone father tone —
“Don’t be like me.” As I grew up alone.

Chorus
Mi hijo!
I don’t wanna be a gangster anymore!
Livin’ like a thug… y un bandido,
Porque tengo un sucio secreto,
siempre incognito…

siempre incognito…

Bridge
¿What kind of life is this
si nadie me conoce?
Except the convicts on the yard
y los guardias cabrones?

Final Chorus
Mi hijo!
I don’t wanna be a gangster anymore!
Livin’ like a thug… y un bandido,
Porque tengo un sucio secreto,
siempre incognito…

siempre incognito..

Mi hijo!
No más sangre en el apellido,
no más vivir escondido,
no más incognito…

“You have one minute remaining. Please say your
goodbyes and terminate the call.”

Father (breaking slightly):
Mi hijo… perdóname.

Robotic female automated voice:
“You have ten seconds remaining. Please say your
goodbyes and terminate the call.”

Click.
(Silence — half bar.)
“No soy invisible.”

To my connections who listen, like, repost, and comment — no pressure to catch every release. I’m creating a lot of music this year.

I’ve been playing guitar since 16, learning by ear from records by Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, Heart, The Rolling Stones, and Steely Dan — Ibanez in hand, Fender Twin Reverb beside the stereo. 

I trained my ear by starting with the bass line and identifying major vs. minor movement to determine key and harmony.

I studied traditional modern harmony for four semesters, along with two semesters of piano. My final recital was the second movement of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 8 (Op. 13, “Pathétique”) — performed clean under pressure.

I later studied privately with a graduate of Dick Grove School of Music, where I finally understood how harmony, progression, and emotional intention fit together.

I’ve produced music since the four-track tape era (Fostex, Tascam), through ADAT systems and Mackie boards, into early Digital Performer — and now Logic Pro with UAD plugins.

Today, I write and produce across multiple styles, from blues and classic rock to R&B, funk, pop, dance, and reggaeton. AI tools like Suno have expanded my stylistic range dramatically.

Currently studying advanced harmonic writing inspired by Steely Dan.

Always evolving.

fictionalive crafts music that’s more than tracks—it’s a simple, living philosophy for our chaotic times: three steps to make sense of it all.  

The Three-Step Framework
fictionalive: Seeds that become trees (all of us)—raw ideas and stories sparking potential in listeners.  
popoems: The water needed to grow, the poetic view on life—emotion and language nourishing the spark into meaning.  
hyper media reports: The earth, the facts the tree grows on—reality’s grounding force of politics, systems, and truth.  

Brain Hop
Brain Hop is a musical genre invented by fictionalive on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 1:24 PM. It brings depth, intellect, and philosophical reflection into contemporary music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism, conceptual frameworks, and cognitive engagement across styles. It responds to a world where much music stays on the surface, creating space for artists to explore social, political, and existential themes through innovative production and poetic or experimental vocals.

Let me break it down for you – all tracks are handcrafted.  

An artist is someone who creates or expresses ideas, emotions, or visions through a chosen medium, aiming to communicate, inspire, or evoke a response. This definition embraces all forms of creativity—visual, musical, literary, or performance—and emphasizes the purpose of connection and expression rather than formal titles or external validation.

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."

*32K before 2016

I love making music that soothes, inspires, and rejuvenates. Downtempo, chilled Lo-fi, non-AI music set to hip hop, pop, and jazz beats. Lover of Boom Bap.

My creative journey began as a visual artist, and now I'm concentrating my energy into creating music that can instantly impact minds and moods for the better. 

Almost all of my music is chill @ -100 bpm to hopefully stimulate calm and feelings of well-being in listeners as it does for me. 💙

I don’t use AI or samples. My music is original, digital, and composed using a MIDI keyboard and DAW. I also record live LoFi audio of ambient sounds such as birdsongs or rainstorms using an iPhone or a microphone connected to laptop.

I’ve been called Rebecca of Sunnybrook like the children’s book because of my birth name but call me Beck like my friends do. I chose Sunnybeck to use as my nickname as I’m an eternal optimist and love the sun.
